Si Nainby's Deep Dive with Pete Arnott

Send us Fan Mail Si Nainby deep dives with Pete Arnott. Pete is a golf coach with a research interest in skill acquisition. In this episode we discuss: What is skill and what does it mean to be skilful? Why did coaching become so de-contextualised? Simplification not Decomposition - why we should build skills by simplifying tasks rather than breaking down techniques. The issues around de-contextualising practice by using artificial coaching tools such as a lineout net or a bowling machine. The concept of Haptic Touch or Extended Mind Theory and how de-contextualised practice can be helpful in building attunement. Pete's approach to introducing novices to a sport and how he builds relationships. How to identify "Rate Limiters" with intermediate players: the key things that will most quickly improve their game. What role does the player's intuition play in the coaching process? How walking a mile in your player's shoes (figuratively) helps co-creation of great practice environments. How consequences can have a huge impact on development - Ed Coughlan, https://twitter.com/DrSkillAcq, has been a big help to Pete in his work on individualising consequences. How Pete uses the Constraints Led Approach - learnings from his biggest mistakes. Using sounds, rhythms and verbal cues to influence sessions. The impact of technology and data in coaching. How Pete uses video review.
